I did these all with the 6B graphite lead holder we use at 6 Flags, NE with watercolor on coldpress watercolor paper. This style was somewhat similar to some caricature illustration work I've done before, but I hadn't worked much on watercolor paper before with this technique, and the texture of the paper led me to try new techniques. Overall, I was pretty happy with how this stuff came out, so I'll definitely see where else I can go with this style.

The likeness really sucks, but this was at least good practice for trying out 6b graphite with watercolor on watercolor paper, a technique I used a few days later at the convention. I'm also pretty happy with the anatomical exaggeration and linework. Likeness, not so much.

About Me

I've been completely obsessed with the world of caricature for the past 2 and a half years now. After graduating from the Hartford Art School in 2007 with an illustration degree, I started drawing caricatures at Six Flags, NE for the next 3 summers and at various craft fairs, candle stores, parties and malls ever since in addition to the occasional magazine illustration job. I draw a lot but should draw even more.
